Fake vs. Original Shilajit in Pakistan: 3 Ways to Test Purity at Home

In Pakistan, the market is flooded with "Salajeet." From roadside vendors in Northern areas to shiny Instagram ads, everyone claims to sell the "original" product. But here is the hard truth: Most of it is just thickened sugar syrup, coal tar, or low-grade extract mixed with chemicals.

Consuming fake Shilajit isn't just a waste of money—it can be dangerous for your health.

At Desi Nectar, we believe in transparency. Before you buy, you should know exactly what you are putting into your body. Here is how you can identify Original Himalayan Shilajit from the fakes using simple home tests.

Why is There So Much Fake Shilajit?

Authentic Shilajit is rare. It takes centuries to form in the cracks of the Himalayan mountains and is harvested by hand at dangerous altitudes (over 16,000 ft). Because the supply is low and demand is high, scammers create cheap imitations using mumie thickeners and artificial colors.

The 3 Golden Rules to Test Your Shilajit

You don't need a lab to spot a bad product. Try these three tests at home:

1. The Solubility Test (Water Test)

This is the easiest way to catch a fake.

• How to do it: Take a pea-sized amount of resin and drop it into a glass of warm water or milk.
• Original Result: It will dissolve completely within minutes, turning the liquid a golden or reddish-black color. There should be no lumps or sandy residue left at the bottom.
• Fake Result: It will struggle to dissolve, leave sticky clumps, or you might see sand/grit at the bottom of the glass.

2. The Flame Test (Burn Test)

Real Shilajit does not burn like a candle.

• How to do it: Put a small amount on the tip of a metal spoon and hold it over a flame.
• Original Result: It will bubble and expand, turning into ash. It will not catch fire.
• Fake Result: If it contains tar or wax, it will catch fire and burn with a flame.

3. The Temperature Test

Pure resin reacts to temperature naturally.

• In the Fridge: It becomes very hard and brittle (like glass) and can shatter if dropped.
• In your Palm: It becomes soft and sticky just from your body heat.
• Fake Result: Artificial mixtures usually stay soft or sticky regardless of the temperature.
